It's been a few years since I've visited Wellington, and I'm glad this restaurant is still around. I had fond memories of dining here last time (probably 6, 7 years ago) and the food is still as good as I remembered. With dishes designed to share, it is great value for a lovely meal.

Great brunch! Really quick service. Was busy on Sunday mid morning and were seated straight away with no booking. Food was really great, unfortunately the coffee was really bitter and not very nice. Would absolutely be back for the food though!

I visited Loretta for dinner with family recently and thoroughly enjoyed a dining experience! I found the food to be absolutely delicious and impeccably prepared. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly and helpful. She couldn't have been any more so! The menu is geared around sharing with the table which was fun.
Loretta is very well worth a visit if you're looking for great food and a great dining experience in the central city.

Great mushrooms on toast, lots of tables inside and quite packed as well. Service pretty good.

Good atmosphere for a Monday night, but I imagine it would be jumping by the end of the week. The food was fabulous and so flavoursome. The fig salad and the coconut cervice were a highlight. Staff were all lovely and very friendly. Excellent service.

Astonishing development!
Loretta is the first restaurant we’ve ever been to (and we’ve asked the question of at least a hundred) which has said “yes” to having a non-alcoholic wine on it’s list…
It was a sparking wine, and my partner enjoyed her glass very much.
Congratulations to Loretta on their first and I hope they add a zero white and rose to their list (McGuigans are not bad). And if they can find a drinkable red that would be an achievement.
Our plate-sized pizzas were just right and the surprising combination of wood-fired peach, pancetta, stracciatella, balsamic, and basil was delicious. Dark chocolate mousse was wonderful.
Speaking of wonderful. we were treated really well by the team and in particular Zoe and Lena who gave us a great table in the window. Even on a rainy Sunday evening it was fun watching the world go by.

Greeted with a smile on arrival, and promptly shown to a table. Friendly staff, with prompt water replacement when bottle nearly finished!
Waffles were excellent and almost too big! My wife had the omelet which she liked. I love it when I get great service and great food in the same venue! Highly recommend!

Such unique food but they pull it off —peaches on pizza, bubbly wine on tap, fenugreek cheese, and the best pate I’ve had in years. The server made us feel part of the family (named Ella?). And the dessert selection! Yum!!

Wonderful dinner experience. The menu is full of yummy fresh seasonable produce and quality protein. The portion is generous for sharing and the flavours are perfect and interesting. We went as a group and did not have a booking on a busy Friday night before Xmas. The host was friendly and accommodating and the wait staff were all attentive and helpful. The checking in throughout the night was the best services we had experienced around the country since COVID.

Ordered several small plates for sharing. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. So much finesse in the dishes! The fennel and radish salad was refreshing and complemented the lamb (lamb was fork tender btw). One of the best restaurants we have tried in NZ!
